Syracuse University (SU) sophomore forward Jerami Grant will enter the 2014 NBA Draft, foregoing his final two years of eligibility at SU, according to a report from SI.com.
Grant’s move deprives the 2014-15 SU men’s basketball team of arguably its most talented player. And coming on the heels of the graduation of forward C.J. Fair, a two-time team-leading scorer, and early departure of freshman point guard Tyler Ennis to the NBA Draft, probably means a rebuilding year for the Orange.
Difficulties on the court will also provide a challenge for SU basketball at the box office.

SU attracted more fans while compiling a stellar 27-4 regular-season record, including a 16-2 mark at home. The Orange were ranked in the top 5 or top 10 for most of the season.
The Orange will be hard-pressed to match last season’s attendance figures if their won-loss record pales in comparison to last year.
